Location: Belfast; and others.
Activity: Various. Work: Typing up patient medical records/summarising computer records. Also: various gardening type activities (hedge cutting/fence painting etc.).
Leisure: Playing frisbee, walking, watching films, listening to music, i.e. the usual (+getting sunburnt).
Films recently watched:
The Beautiful Life (1999). A great wee Italian comedy set during WWII; at times quite dark and hought-provoking.
Delicatessen (1991). This is also a black comedy, based in a post nuclear-holocaust France. Some parts are, as my brother called it, "Very French" (i.e. slightly odd) and not quite as good as that other well-known French comedy Amelie, but still good. A nice style to it, but of course.
The Ladykillers (1955). The original film upon which the recent Coen Brothers film is based. Again, quite a dark film but very funny in places. Alec Guinness is a great actor. I haven't seen the re-make but seems to have gained mixed reviews.
Mystic River (2003). A good film. Not entirely original; mafia-esque intrigue, with many twists and turns. Well acted.
Capricorn one (1978). Saw this on TV late one night. Very poor production values. Maybe this kind of thing looked good in the seventies but just looked like a very cheap made-for-TV movie. The acting is diabolical, save Elliott Gould (Ocean's 11 among others) who is ok. Decent enough idea for a film: faked Mars landings but poorly executed.

Anyway, having bored you with that, here's what I've been listening to recently:
Neil Young: After the Goldrush. I was interested in this after hearing Thom Yorke's cover of the title track. The album is actually pretty good in a 70s folk-rocky way.
Tim Buckley: Tim Buckley/Goodbye and Hello. Bought this with the above in a buy one, get one free job. Interesting, but weird. Need to listen to it more.
Sufjan Stevens: Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lake State. Good, a bit different to Seven Swans. Again, more listening is needed.

Hope everyone reading this is doing something fulfilling with their lives. Let me know.

Dave.
